No excuse for not beating Indiana, especially since JO is out. We SHOULD win in a blowout.

this is definitely a winnable game, we have to watch out for granger though...with o'neal out, that means granger will have to step up

i think this right here will be a true test to see if we can put away a game that indiana should have no chance of winning. back in the day, we would overestimate them and they run all over us. i see us winning this one though.

We'd better win this game. Even better if we get a blowout so starters can rest for the game Saturday.

Can't take it lightly, they are a team with Jermaine or no Jermaine that can score points. Dunleavy has been superb all season long along with guys like Granger and Rush. Not to mention are on the road.

Need to come out with intensity, establish Yao, move on offense and play hard on defense and I'd like our chances, but I don't think it'll be as easy as saying "blowout" especially knowing our team likes to make everything interesting.

We need to make sure Indiana doesn't heat up from the perimeter. We should be able to handle the Pacers easily, but they've been playing decent basketball this season and we're on the road so anything is possible. Go Rockets.

We can't afford to lose this game , we need to win all the games against team we should beat in this stretch because the other teams aren't losing.
And 8th seed will just give us 0 chance of advancng we need a better seed.

I don't know man, I think we might be able to take NO in a 7 game series. We've struggled with them recently, but they have no depth and we're beginning to find out that we have quite a bit of depth.

Also, Shabi and Eralp, there's a contact thread so please exchange user names and whatnot in there please. Thanks.
